Caller ID Showing Which Calling Card Used???

Recently I've noticed a change when someone calls me using a Bell
Canada Calling Card. Previously when they would call, from whatever
number they were calling from and using a Bell Canada Calling Card the
number would show on my Caller ID of my cell phone (on the Bell Canada
Mobility network) as "Private Number."

Today I received a call, from someone I know was using a calling card
as they definitely are not at the location the number is physically
terminated at, but my caller id showed it as originating as from there
even though I know it originated from South Carolina. Clearly Bell is
now putting the "billing number" for the calling card through as
Caller ID.

Are any other phone companies doing this?
